New Hitachi in my collection

[stevenrob]

Hello guys !
This boombox was so dusty an durty. Very long to clean. But finally...

 

[Mystic Traveller]

Great job done!

Bloody hell you would never know it was dirty, looks amazing now

That's one of the cleanest examples of this model I've seen! Normally the top trim is pitted and dinged up and the cassette window yellow.
I'd reprint those drivers black and then you'd have a Stealth bomber Hitachi. Nice box!

 

[caution]

It must have had so much dirt on it that it protected the surface from damage, because it looks like you just pulled it out of the carton!

The radio and tape window plastic was yellow and I used car polish to have this good result.

 

[Nickeccles]

That looks Ace!!

I have one in my Boom room to restore 1 day - I like these old 8080's they can look very nice when cared for!

 

[stereomad]

Looks in really nice shape
